Marya Maximoff

“I know that, I moved to America because I know that. I threw myself into excessive schooling, speech classes and raising two kids because I knew that. I tried to fall in love again because I know that.”

Part of her had always known he'd end up leaving though, it was this look she would sometimes see him get. Like he was waiting for something, ready to run or fight at a moments notice. A thought she took as true when she learned the truth about him.

"I think that it was actually safer for you, Erik. Not having to worry that you would loose someone in the crossfire. I have always wondered though--if you'd have stayed if I'd told you."

“It’s not at all, and well we wait for the oven to be done why don’t I take a look at your knee? I’m not a doctor quite yet but I have been a nurse for over 20 years.”

She had heard about Mystique from Peter, she appreciated that she was teaching her son how to fight and defend himself since he seemed insistent on being a part of Xavior’s X-Men. With the way she had handled herself during the incident in DC over 10 years ago? She was glad that someone strong was there to look out for her son, and she felt that she owed her her gratitude. And in this instance? Her help.

too long had raven been  ON HER OWN,  that now this  kindness  made her feel out of place. a tight smile was given, azure lips turned into a line before she nodded at the woman. ’ i will  HEAL  fast — but i’d appreciate, thank you. ’

Though she had helped mutants out at work, most of the people on the night shift in the ER didn't really like mutants to much. Since she didn't mind at all dealing with mutants, she was normally the one who was assigned to them well they waited for the Doctor on duty that night.

When Raven moved so that she could better examine her knee Marya reached out to lightly feel it, making sure that nothing seemed to be out of place. She wasn't sure how her healing worked, so it was better to make sure it didn't heal strangely if it wouldn't set it in the right place.

The remark was said in a harder tone than she meant, but afterwards she forced herself to relax a bit. Her expression lost a bit of the harder edge, her shoulders relaxed a little and she did her best not to glare at the other. There was enough conflict in the world without her having one with him, and with Peter seemly ready to jump right in the middle of the worlds problems? She wouldn’t make him responsible for any of her own, he was grown-up now and had every right to tell Erik the truth no matter her view on the subject. That didn’t mean that she wasn’t still protective of both him and his sister, no matter what their abilities allowed them to do.

“If you hurt either Peter or Wanda in any way; I don’t care how much power you have you will have to deal with me, Erik.”

That she has to address his power at all stings, admittedly, in ways he was not prepared for. It’s as though she is situating herself between him and their children, ready to defend, ready to sacrifice herself if necessary to stave off the hatred and violence of a villain. While Erik knows he deserves this because he has earned it, that doesn’t mean it burns him any less. 

“I would never harm our children,” he says lowly, trying not to sound angry, because he is certain that’s not the emotion he is experiencing now. There’s something desperate and aching about the way he feels, and he feels conflicted as to whether or not he could stand letting her know that. 

“I know that, I moved to America because I know that. I threw myself into excessive schooling, speech classes and raising two kids because I knew that. I tried to fall in love again because I know that.”

“Are you honestly surprised that I di- dn’t  tell you?  You were  so insistent, so bent on your revenge. I wasn’t go- ing to  have a child  subjected to that. Let alone two.“

“I’m not,” Erik responds, and she may rest secure in the knowledge that without reason to lie to her about it, he is being honest and sincere. Peter is of age to deal with this sort of thing now; he had taken it upon himself to come to the institute and to tag along with the others on their way to rescue Charles and put a stop to the terrible plot that had threatened to destroy everything. To remake it in false god’s image. But as a child, Erik would never have exposed him to such horrors. 

Besides, Shaw had been a different sort of threat altogether. Not on so grand a scale, but equally as terrifying to Erik, who had spent his life pushing away the ghosts that haunted him in his efforts to grow stronger and better. In his efforts to recover. He hadn’t been ready for a family, and he honestly can’t say how he would have handled one.
